Real Madrid have announced Cristiano Ronaldo is back, but I’m not even convinced he’ll start. Yaya Touré and David Silva are both out for Manchester City, while Samir Nasri is ineligible. Yet, as long as they’re tight at the back and Vincent Kompany is stoically to be relied upon, and Pablo Zabaleta makes an appearance after missing Tuesday’s training session. I think City could see this through.
Moreover, French striker Karim Benzema and Brazilian midfielder, Casemiro, have been ruled out, and it can’t be denied that those two have been an influential pair for Zinedine Zidane’s side.
Betfair are offering Man City to win within 90 minutes at an astonishing 18/1 – the catch being winnings will be repaid as future bet stakes, not cash. Bet with William Hill at 6.50.
